THOSE who look upon the interstate
commerce bill as a mere temporary
make-shift or expedient, or a mistake to
be rectified by its repeal If it does not
suit the railway interests Of the land,
are reckoning without their hosts. The
interstate commerce bill In its spirit and
interest is one of the most necessary
measures ever introduced into congress.
Upon it hinges the regulation of the
whole internal traffic of the nation.
That it must be hereafter an integral
part of the national regulations, affect
Ing all business, may as well be accepted
first as last. That the act will long re-
main In its present condition is hardly to
be looked for. 1t is not to be expected
that the first draft of a law so all inclu-
sive and covering so great scope would
be perfect. Time and experience will
designate the changes needed, but the
law will stand.

The Galveston News must be left
handed. AT least, it reads everything
upside down. The statement Of the
LIGHT in recent issue, that the highest
type of human liberty was the 'liberty
to speak and think and act as a man." is
construed by the News into contempt
of the right to work for ones own liy-
ing. The News banks Its ball clear out
side the string. The LIGHT merely re-
CARDS the right to think and speak freely
as higher order Of liberty than the
mere right to work freely. If the right
to act freely does not include the right
and privilege of working freely, what
does it include?

The reports that reach America of the
critical condition Of Mr.. Parnell's health.
and his probable retirement from the
active direction of the Irish national
party in parliament, will be received
with genuine sorrow in this country, as
well as in his own home. Mr.. Parnell
has the confidence Of Irishmen as per-
haps no other man has, and under his
management the Irish national party in
parliament have acted as one man. To
this unity, and the moderation and firm
ness of the party in commons, has been
due the growing influence it has attain.
ed in the Bullsh parliament.

The Italians, as complete returns re-

The enemy have already attacked and
carried the first line OF intrenchments

immediate relief and the ministry may

patronized, the better will it be for the

The Cotton Seed Oil company makes
a big showing on paper OF its transac-
tiOns, and claims to be in possession of
four fifths Of the mills and nine-tenths
OF the refineries of the country. This
statement looks little like bluff. The
sDtagOnism to this giant monopoly has
never been so great as this season, nor
the combinations against it so effective.
The receipts of cotton seed in the lower
Mississippi district have fallen of 80 per
cent. as compared with last season.
while the season itself is more advanced.
The cotton seed has an intrinsic value
as fertilizer and of this the more in
telligent cotton growers are aware.
When, therefore, they cannot get prices
from the OIL Trust company that will
enable them to return the equivalent of
the seed to the soil as fertilizer they
retain 1t and thus the seed receipts for
oil production are cut down. Combine
tions to buy seed in competition with
the monopoly have failed. Retaining
the seed for fertilizing purposes has
proved success and seed must advance
in price.
